Susan Broyer's speaks >>> "OK. Here's mine. I am a scientific illustrator (fancy name for making graphs, mostly) working for the USDA at an ag research lab, where the focus is on finding more efficient ways of farming the hill-lands of Appalachia. My husband Doug is a scientist at the same facility, doing research on water quality. We have two teenagers, 17 and 15, who are very active sorts of people: soccer, band, computers, ham radio, skiing. Those Swope researchers who have been unfortunate enough to try to carry on conversations with me in October have already discovered that I'm a crazy person then, because of band marching season (it is an exceptional band) and soccer. We live in Raleigh County, about an hour drive from the Swope homestead in Wolf Creek. In my "free" time I work on my genealogy (Stewart, Swope, Bolinger, Diddle, Pugh, Nottingham, Kerr, Yeager), do some bobbin lace and tatting, spin, draw (rarely). Doug and the kids are fairly serious cavers in Monroe and Greenbrier Co. 1 Yost Schwab b: 02/22/1677-78 d: 1735 ....+Anna Katharina Wolfharten b: 1664 d: Unknown .....2 Joseph Ulrich Swope b: 10/21/1707 d: Abt 1780 .........3 Joseph Swope, Sr. b: 08/11/1751 d: 03/20/1819 .........+Catherine Sullivan b: 02/09/1756 d: 03/12/1820 .............4 Jonathon Swope b: 01/05/1784 d: 04/05/1872 ..............*2nd Wife of Jonathon Swope: ...............+Susannah Siders Roach b: 11/08/1808 d: 09/02/1874 ...................5 Joseph Jonathon Swope b: 12/28/1854 d: 06/05/1917 ...................*2nd Wife of Joseph Jonathon Swope: ...................+Eliza Antoinette Diddle b: 09/06/1850 d: 03/31/1941 .......................6 Nina Lucille Swope b: 08/03/1884 d: 12/01/1982 .......................+Charles Braxton Stewart, Sr. b: 09/12/1875 d: 03/10/1952 ..........................7 Charles Braxton Stewart, Jr. b: 03/15/1915 ..........................+Kathleen Ruth Nottingham b: 12/04/1916 ..............................8 Susan Jane Stewart b: 07/03/1953 <<< end
